What is the specification of your laptop?
As I've understood comments on the list "prebuffering pauses" may be
associated with performance load. HD requires quite a bit of
horsepower for playback. Can you run `top` in a terminal window
whilst reproducing these symptoms?
The phrase "NVP: prebuffering pause" turns up quite a number of
results at Gossamer. Perhaps you could make reference to some of
these (eg: "I don't have the symptoms mentioned in this post, and I'm
using different hardware from the poster in that post") when your
update us?
